@johnbishop, thank you for the response.

I looked at the two study reports that you provided. They generally are consistent with what I have read about the sexual side effects from prostate procedures generally, but neither addresses the specific question that I raise: at what point can sexual activity be resumed, assuming that, as the many studies lead one to expect, the patient is one of the vast majority who is sexually functional after the procedure.

I cannot call the developer of the procedure, but have left a telephone message for my doctor, whose previous advice regarding sexuality omitted any caveats or mentions of timing expectations. Unfortunately, my doctor isn't usually one to respond to phone inquiries; instead, his staff prefers to schedule office visits, which I am trying to avoid for reasons of expense and convenience.

As the question seems like one that many, many patients must have confronted as they recover from this specific procedure, I am quite astonished that best practices aren't available, data hasn't been generated, and the internet doesn't address a patient's reasonable expectations.
